Camping/Wheeling for the weekend of 4/30-5/1. How's that sound? My wife will be gone for the weekend for her business trip. I'll be alone at home. What better way to spend the weekend than going for wheeling/camping? I haven't even picked a place to go yet, but is anybody interested?

(I'll have to find out if the trail is open, though... :rolleyes: ) I did look for some interesting trails in the north, but...nothing really. I mean, what my books list around Shasta is easy trials only... And, I don't think I want to drive 5-6 hours to get to a trail, either..even if there are some moderate trails. :p

Well, Peligreen is still an option, but I just confirmed w/ Game & Fish in the area that the trail is open.
Let's see what other options we might have... :rolleyes:

From "Guide to Northern California Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" Trail: Peligreen Jeepway
Location: East of Red Bluff, southeast of Paynes Creek
Difficulty: Moderate. After a well-graded forest road, the trail narrows to a rough, one-lane path over hilly, remote terrain. Portions of the route are rocky and bone jarring. Other portions can be slick and muddy if wet. Steep in places with loose rock, but there are no difficult obstacles. The first part of Jeepway passes through a burned out area where fallen trees have blocked the route in several places. Bypasses have formed but they are faint and route finding can be challenging at times. Tight brush in places may scratch vehicle. Suitable for any seasoned, high-clearance 4-wheel-drive SUV. The trail sees little use, so don't count on help from passersby. Best driven in spring and fall.
Features: A long winding drive over a series of rugged volcanic ridges. Some drivers will find the area starkly beautiful; others, harsh and desolate. The route passes through the Tehama State Wildlife Area which is closed December through March. It is also closed the last week in October for hunting season when a permit is required.
Time & Distance: The entire unpaved loop measures 36 miles, of which 24 miles are easy forest roads. Allow a full day.
Elevation: Approx. 2,000 ft - 3,300 ft. Date: April 30th (Sat) & May 1st (Sun)This trail is ranked in just about the middle of the moderate trails listed in the book. The easiest of the Moderate trails is Eagle Peak, which a stock Xterra w/ step rails has no problem. And, the difficult side of Moderate trails is Bear Valley Loop. I think you could get by without taking offmud flaps and step rails with careful driving. But, if you don't want them damaged, taking them off prior to attendind is highly suggested... This trail should be perfect for those who want to go camping/off-roading in your stock Xterras, and I'm sure those w/ modified Xterra would have a great time as well. In last November, we visited the trail from East to the West, but this time we'll go the other way around. We will be camping about half way through the trail: Black Oak Grove Camp Ground. However, we did not see a sign for this actual camp site on the trail or anywere nearby. I've contacted Fish & Game a few days ago, and the trail is officially open. I don't have the meeting time/locations clearly set, yet, but I'll post it as soon as I sort that out. It'll be pretty similar to the last time's, though. Who's up for it?

Originally posted by outbkjack: It will make the trail a little more challenging A little? That's likely to be an understatement. You probably have to use everything you've got to get through some of the places once wet..or raining. Remember...that trail had quite a bit of dirt/mud surface than rocks... :rolleyes:

We could always just go and camp. I thought that is also the reason I got a locker and a winch. It could get nasty in a few spots. And as long as we dont due like this guy we will be fine pic , And yes that is a titan up by the peligreen trail

Yeah I liked this trail alot when we ran it back in November.....but throw in a few days of rain prior to the trip and I think I would stay away with this and my stock rig......just my opinion. Not to mention I got some "Excellent" pinstripping last November from this trip that no amount of buffing took out. Now considered batter scares of pride. You guys have a great time looking forward to seeing the pics. Be safe.

Well, well, well... The weather forecast is looking better and better. It's only going to rain today and tomorrow...mostly. If you're thinking about it...come out, come out. It'll be a fun trip...

Hey guys,
Could you keep me up to date on your outings.
I live in Central Oregon on the I-5 Corridor and most of the events in Nor Cal are closer than me driving up to Washington State or BC.
Thanks

By the way, I'll try my best to meet you guys (Kevin & Robert) in Fairfield, but I'll catch up to you guys all in Corning Safeway if I don't show up. I have to drop off Catherine at SFO first... I plan to go to SFO, take the Bay Brg, go through San Pablo, Valljo to I-80.

It was a (another) great trip! I really wished that more people (especially those who enjoy camping and new to off-roading) joined this trip... :rolleyes: Pictures...Enjoy
